At this point we are way over putting up hundreds of manual entries and it is a very large drama...we are now 6 weeks in..
Finding many manual ways round what is stock in others like GEO sourcing etc...Very very glad we chose to only test Events+ on one small event site we run...

The result is displayed in a Quick view allowing users to see what is one how far away - to this end result needs to show the event when..(as all other details are returned
So
the actual date (would be great - ie
(Saturday May 31st 2014)
or even just
(Saturday)
we could deal with..

I do believe this is also a problem with Recurring events that @Vladislav may have an answer for as there have been a number of workarounds due to the cloning of the "hub" event..

Please understand this site is now in a very precarious stage..
Can someone PLEASE find out about recurring date so we can attempt to move on with the incredibly labour intense addition of hundreds of events that should have been online 10 days ago (another estimated 400 HOURS - to put them up..) this is simply not acceptable.

The problem with displaying the recurring date outside the events template is making a decision on which of all possible recurring instances to show. This is also why you're experiencing issues with trying to apply templating functions to a recurring event - it's not just one event, it's a collection of events, and you need to specify which one you'd want to access/show. So, in the context of your page, what exactly are you trying to achieve? Perhaps display some information from the very next recurring event instance, or some other particular recurring event, or a list of all dates, or something else entirely?

So with the GEO MY WP distance search it actually does return the next event but in "distance order"
ie events that are within 50km, but might be happening in Dec 2014..This link is in the email --
So the GeoMyWP page currently does pullup the next event (ie not the 50 of one recurring event, only the next upcoming one..) but is not showing the date with any function we have attempted if its recurring (as above)

We can live with that if it shows when the event is..

Ideally integration would be great but .. if they at least show when it is happening in the list folks know not to click/book if its 12 months ahead etc..

Thanks for your patience. That's a bit complicated by the fact that it's a plugin providing that listing rather than Events+ itself. As I've been in contact with you previously by email, I'll respond to that shortly.

Sorry I missed replying previously. I thought I'd asked already, but I was wondering, have you asked fitoussi (the plugin author) regarding this?

There are ways to get that done through code, so I was just curious if that had been addressed? As it's specifically regarding that plugin's code rather than Events+ code directly, it would have to be dealt with through that plugin.

I may have missed some relevant thread on that, thus I wanted to check with you.

Yes and as above it relates ENTIRELY to the recurring event date ..
The issue is one that Vlad has acknowleged even above but has as yet not provided a solution to source the NEXT upcoming date from the HUB recurring ones..

So if you could source WHAT date info we need to find or return that would likely solve the mystery of RECURRING events not showing..
All other info appears including custom info on fitoussis fabulous geo solution out of the box without endless fixes additions repairs and updates..

Really sorry for the wait with this. I should have asked sooner. Could you please let us know the respective code for that section you're trying to include the event date in?

As this is basically a matter of custom work (namely code coming from another plugin), if you could let us know the respective code section, I'm sure we can get you some details for the date inclusion.

Oh my goodness we seem to be going round in never ending circles as above and as provided in the email
The next recurring date ...
To go on the gEO my WP template
It has been provided and as VLAD asked above which date and I answered yet again the NEXT occurring date..
As is provided and returned in the EVENTS archive that one...
to go to Geo MY WP...

Thanks for your reply, just to clarify though, I was actually asking for the code for that loop specifically. Could you let us know the code where you need the date to appear in?

To be clearer still, it's a matter of custom work at this point to integrate the 2 plugins, since they're not integrated already. I'll have to check with Ve (Vladislav) if he's looked more into integration with that, but for the moment, it would require custom work.

Being a matter of custom work though, if you could let me know the code where the loop occurs, I'm sure I can provide more help with that.

On the other hand, if you're looking to simply request this feature addition (namely, the integration with that plugin), we can move this to the feature suggestion forum if you like.

Unfortunately, to use that, you would need to alter the loop being used by that plugin. On the other hand, if you could post the loop being used here, I'm sure we could delve into that.

If instead you're looking for an integrated solution with Events+ and GEO My WP, so that you wouldn't need to adjust any code, I'm afraid that's not something we can provide at this moment. It would really depend on the time/resources the developers have available. Though if there's enough request for this, that'd definitely help push that along.

On the other hand, we'd be glad to assist with your use of the code Ve posted.

Yes I agree I think you are somewhat confused as the one you refer to is for Custompress and has nothing to do with the other.
When will @Vladislav be able to provide as above the actual info needed for the next recurring date to display in the geo my wp template ??

So with the GEO MY WP distance search it actually does return the next event but in "distance order"
ie events that are within 50km, but might be happening in Dec 2014..
This link is in the email --
So the GeoMyWP page currently does pullup the next event (ie not the 50 of one recurring event, only the next upcoming one..) but is not showing the date with any function we have attempted if its recurring (as above)

We can live with that if it shows when the event is..

Ideally integration would be great but .. if they at least show when it is happening in the list folks know not to click/book if its 12 months ahead etc..

I have flagged 1 of our other developers to see if they can look into this with you as Ve has been extremely busy and has a quite big backlog at moment with some high priority issues. Hopefully our other developer should be able to come up with a solution.

And still waiting..
Come on folks...
I know Vlad did not create and is now left with the code as it was created BUT we the users need solutions..
I still NEED a way to display REcurring dates..
I still NEED a way to IMPORT data..

A recurring event is a collection of many single events, so the<?php echo Eab_Template::get_event_dates($post); ?>
Actually work.
But the point is, how you post the $post parameter, as I said, it's a collection of single events, meaning it's a collection of posts, which post_parent point the to event root and with status 'recurring', so the things we need to do now is find the right $post, to get the right event date.

The issue is on your theme, and I will need the theme for tracing the issue, so could you please send in:

- Mark to my attention - ATTN: Hoang Ngo
- Link back to this thread
- Include admin/network access
- Include cPanel (I will need to look at the DB so need PHPMyAdmin or similar)
- Include FTP
- Include any relevant URLS for your site

On the contact form, select "I have a different question", this ensures it comes through and gets assigned to me.

If you go over the longwinded saga..
The issue is the REcurring events because they are not standard and come from the hub..
The issue relates to displaying the "next" current recurring event
in the GEO my WPress list..

Could you start a new thread as a feature request for the importing of recurring events, as we have strayed out of topic here, and having a new thread for this particular request would be a lot easier to manage and find.

I will certainly add it to the requests then, but I can't make any promises at all.

Already done repeatedly and it seems just like this falling on deaf ears with a dev or team that has no concept of business cost..
Again this is NOT a feature request it is a BASIC STANDARD FUNCTION requirement

I totally understand that as a requirement in the plugin however as that is currently not there in the plugin, it'd have to be requested as a feature I am afraid.

No worries, if you do not want to create a new thread :slight_smile: I have moved the same thread in the "Features and Feedback" section and as @Vladislav has already been informed about this, he will be around soon :slight_smile:

Thanks for trying however that is of no benefit whatever as there IS already several requests for this STANDARD FUNCTION again not a FEATURE request...
Please define SOON - now at the 3 month waiting mark

Sorry for all the confusion but I see that Hoang is already there on this thread to assist you and I have asked him to take over the thread so that he can get this fixed. What you need (as you are not using the standard events template) is custom code to get the required display on the events page.

As far as the feature request or a standard function is concerned, Vlad is already aware of this thread and we will try and get more information to see if there are any plans to add a function to the plugin which would make it inject the required codes if a user is not using the standard template but a custom template. Generally custom templates have to be custom coded !

Because your theme is a custom, and as I said before, the most part now is get the right next recurring. And for the combination, I will need the whole picture, that's mean I will need the access to your current theme files.

so could you please send in:

- Mark to my attention - ATTN: Hoang Ngo
- Link back to this thread
- Include admin/network access
- Include cPanel (I will need to look at the DB so need PHPMyAdmin or similar)
- Include FTP
- Include any relevant URLS for your site

On the contact form, select "I have a different question", this ensures it comes through and gets assigned to me.

have resent details again.. If they are not received this time can you advise.
Security and other issues not withstanding it is very poor procedures that have no safety net in place and allow so many support threads to simply stay in limbo..
IMHO..

Not sure how you thought that was the question but no nothing to do with date format it relates to getting the Recurring events to show dates of any sort in the theme template
But then YES if it ever is addressed showing the day will be useful :slight_smile:

To recap:
1. Dates/Days are not showing on your recurring events.
2. Patrick gave you a snippet which worked on his site (and mine, I just checked) but you have a custom theme, and if I understand correctly, a custom version of Events+, correct? So that snippet won't work.
3. You've most recently sent login info to Hoang(?) on this past Saturday/Sunday correct?

You're waiting for a custom coded solution to the issue that will provide you with dates for the recurring events in your custom template. As was mentioned, it is unlikely the fix will be added to the plugin, because dates show on most themes already, even on recurring events.

I'll make sure your email was received, and I'll check in with Hoang to see if this is an option we can create for you. I know you've been waiting a long time, for what you feel is a simple solution, but it seems as though your unique theme situation has made this anything but simple. If I'm misunderstanding, I'm sure you'll correct me. :slight_smile:

Hi @Michael Bissett
@Michelle Shull:slight_smile: Yes kind of getting old and grey.. I know its difficult especially since this evolution has been through support staff that have come and most of them gone now..
A number of major issues and ongoing open threads with Events + but NOT exclusive to the theme.

1 - Days Dates not displaying in the "GEO MY WP resultsTemplate" for Recurring events.
Using GEO My WP event+ addon so people who need the events can find them from X distance = ie this site houses many specific Recurring events that folks may want to visit within X Klm ...GEO is yet another member that gives freely of his time and effort - creates plugins and addons BUT WPMUDev do not embrace any of that - yet the users ask for it repeatedly>> <But I digress .. :slight_smile:

So the Result template (for Geo My WP- which displays the output of the X klm search currently only displays dates for Single events (of which there are very few)and No dates for Recurring events.
However it does only display the NEXT Recurring event and not the entire hub eg: not 52 of the weekly events)

Plus it also displays Expired and events that are not occurring for perhaps 12 months in the search results ..
ie search now can bring up events happening in 2016

Originally We - (myself and the GEO dev) asked about which snippet was required to return the correct hub date to display.. This has turned into this major issue when in fact it really should not be..New staff - rollouts of new shiny things.. and quite literally hundreds of support threads with folks waiting..

3 - Details sent in for Hoang for the 3rd time recently David has acknowledged receipt of..

SO ---- we need the event date to display for Recurring events in the GEO results template
- and ideally a way to filter time - ie not dates that have expired nor dates months in advance..

PN _ I run many events sites.. was intending to move to Events plus but it is Lacking in a number of key requirements and until any of them are addressed it most definitely is not an all encompassing Events solution.. This one site has cost hundreds of hours just to input events - (because there is no way to import Recurring events) which is in no way acceptable as a business solution... and an extremely unhappy long term client...
It like a few of the touted plugins is so CLOSE to being what it claims it is painful....

The REASON that it is not straight forward is the plugin itself has morphed from a calendar to what it is present day and it does NOT use standard WP hooks etc so we cannot work around and "custom" solutions are required from those who developed it because of this.. NOT because pesky members expect everything without question.. :slight_smile:as was once put to me...
